"Poulsard is almost like a rosé in colour but certainly not in taste – quite a serious drop. The nose is dominated by flowers, small red berries and mineral notes of crushed stones. On the palate it is Pinot Noir-esque, but a
marked saltiness reveals Poulsard. The wine is already open, probably a signature of the vintage. Yet you feel it is young and will age beautifully thanks to the salinity. It is a great wine for gastronomy or on its own. The plots are in Montigny and Arbois; the wines are between 25 and 60 years and planted on marl and calcareous sands,very soft and called here schistes cartons, because of
their aspect of layered cardboard. "
France is without doubt the world’s supreme wine-producing country, unmatched for the finesse, style and sheer diversity of its wines. France’s revered wine regions form a roll of honour beyond compare. The enduring appeal of France’s classic wine styles turns on the peculiarly French – and often controversial – concept of terroir, the belief in wine with a ‘sense of place’, with flavours and textures.
